Fodor's Expert Review Garden 248 Gastropub

Look for the string of paper lanterns over a white-pebble patio and you'll know you’ve arrived at this cool spot famous for creative cuisine and local microbrews. The tiny kitchen delivers miraculous freshness, and whips up one-of-a-kind dishes like deviled eggs filled with bacon and shrimp, avocado-mango-seafood soup, and sea bass tiradito in a plantain shell. You can’t go wrong with the spring rolls, beef sliders, tuna steak, or German sausage. No matter how many times you’ve had chips and guacamole, chances are this gastropub will take the prize with its homemade yuca-and-plantain chips. There’s indoor and outdoor dining, but for some reason, the beer just tastes better in the garden on one of the funky couches made from recycled wooden pallets.
